Hello, Phil Bridger,
I'll never forget how, years ago, you scolded me for tagging some articles with a BLPPROD tag and argued that I should have done some investigation to look for references for them rather than tagging them for deletion. I soon stopped tagging these articles BLPPROD after that and moved on to other tasks that still keep me very busy.
Well, I wanted to let you know that there are currently 200+ articles that are tagged BLPPROD for the coming week that you may be interested in reviewing. Just go toUser:DumbBOT/ProdSummary to see the master list or you can browseCategory:BLP articles proposed for deletion and see if any of them stand out as articles worth preserving. I hope you are having a pleasant summer.LizRead!Talk!20:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Regardingthis comment: I imagine you were trying to express that the number of edits doesn't matter, as long as they are good edits? Your first sentence, though, seems to imply that as long as you make a good edit, all your bad edits don't matter. Perhaps you might consider rewording it a bit?isaacl (talk)20:51, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Phil Bridger. I just added reply about the evidences of abusing 'extended' status byUser:Landnama inWP:ANI onPersistent small edits on multiple pages by User:Landnama section. Idk if these can be considered evidence or not tbh, but I'm quite sure that's why I added it. Thank you.EdhyRa (talk)12:52, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Phil Bridger!
Thanks for your interest in this page. I definitely do not want to delete anything of potential value to even a small handful of readers. If someone were to come in and work to make this a contentful page, I would gladly assist to the best of my ability. At present, however, it only reports that Heidegger uses a two-word phrase that the article does not define or explain and which, to the best of my ability to determine, is not considered notable by scholars.
The article, just because it says nothing, is quite harmless. For the same reason, however, it does not seem to me to belong on Wikipedia. If you think it should just sit there anyways, that does not bother me. But if you think there should be a discussion, would you mind initiating this on the talk page or wherever is most appropriate?

Toyota in Formula One begins with the following line:"Panasonic Toyota Racing was a Formula One team owned by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota Motor Corporation and based in Cologne, Germany. "
Should we do something similar for DS Penske: "DS Penske is a Formula E team owned by the French automobile manufacturer DS Automobiles and based in Los Angeles, United States"?78.131.72.186 (talk)19:40, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there. So I reported a user yesterday for what I thought was vandalism due to how they were going about it and you were the one who responded so this is why I came to you.
As another user (who commented on the report) pointed out to me, the person I reported was a VERY newcomer and, as policyWP:DONTBITE should be followed. Well, I think I overstepped the mark with the user who is clearly very new to editing. I'm afraid I did it out of emotion and after a difficult day. I've given a lenghty apology and explanation in their talk page. I would like you to please close the report.
Once again, I apologize for how I behaved towards this newcomer, and thank you for your time.Omnis Scientia (talk)07:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just a quick message aboutthis edit you made. Saying"If your mission is to make Andrew Tite an unemployable laughing stock then you're doing a very good job at it."
is a bit uncivil and is a bit like insult to injury. Please refrain from such comments in the future as they're simply unneeded and a bit toxic. —MATRIX!(a good person!)[citation unneeded]17:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article will be discussed atWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him •☎️)13:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the writing tip. I will improve through formal lessons I will attend, acknowledging the extensive impact on my poor communication skills to all aspects of life besides Wikipedia. Your insight has led to a pivotal change.Maxim Masiutin (talk)04:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding this edit - "based out of" and "based in" actuallymostly mean the same thing and I think either are fine in that case. English is weird!StereoFolic (talk)00:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regardingthis edit: I appreciate that earthy language is quite commonly used in Wikipedia discussions, so please feel free to ignore the following comment. Given that the original comment didn't feature any, though, I suggest that you might consider rewording, as I think it overshadows your well-made following point that the community relies on its collectively-agreed upon guidelines rather than individual viewpoints. Nonetheless, I understand if you choose to keep your comment as-is. Thanks for your consideration in this matter.isaacl (talk)16:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Phil, regardingthis comment, I just wanted to clarify that I know, of course, that IP changes automatically; what I was talking about here is one's choice to edit or editwar using their account and an IP simultaneously, which gives the false impression of two separate people editing.Piccco (talk)12:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a brief response toyour comment made at WP:ANI:Unfortunately your assessment of the comments and suggestions made at the RFC forStorrs, Connecticut are misplaced. Wikipedia's style clearly shows that, although a common name can be the primarily used name (or even the article title) you must attribute an official name. Even if, as you posit, the official name is the "alternative name".
In our case, "Storrs" was never slated for removal nor intended as such. If you read the suggested text, andother suggested versions, we clearly see examples that align with Wikipedia's conventions, like:
Storrs, officiallyStorrs-Mansfield (/stɔːrzˈmænsfild/storz-MANS-feeld), is an unincorporatedvillage...
Hopefully that clears up the claims made over at ANI, thank you.Jonathanhusky (talk)10:38, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Storrs-Mansfield (/stɔːrzˈmænsfild/ storz-MANS-feeld) is an unincorporated village and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Mansfield in eastern Tolland County, Connecticut, United States. The community is part of the Capitol Planning Region.
Sometimes referred to as Storrs, the village is dominated economically and demographically by the main campus of the University of Connecticut and the associated Connecticut Repertory Theatre.

I wanted to apologize for my edit warring at ANI. I didn't even consider the fact that the templates were left by an admin -- I will remember that going forward. Thank you for helping to call me on that.JeffSpaceman (talk)20:13, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Sorry, but I thought this discussion was being held in public. I can't say any more, not because you seem to want to exclude me, but because I have no idea what you mean by "SMH" and "BMI". Please communicate in English." just isn't civil[1]. The first is a common abbreviation of an English language phrase and the second is a wikipedia term of art (WP:BMI) which again is an abbreviation of English. You were communicated with in English, please apologize.Horse Eye's Back (talk)17:44, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would also note that even if the communciation was not in English the level of scorn and derision in your comment would be uncivil. Its just a bad edit all around, especially from an Admin... No excuse here.Horse Eye's Back (talk)17:45, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for reverting this user's edit on Alison McAtee's page. We should probably keep an eye out for him/her though. As they've made their account in 2019 and the only edits they've ever made were on that actress' page. So there might be some sort of Conflict of Interest there. There was another editor(who's now blocked) that was also making similar edits last year and only on that page.[2] I think it's the same person.Kcj5062 (talk)04:38, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About simple Template "This user ..." --Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)#c-Seregadu-20250529025300-Phil Bridger-20250519073900
5. You are not familiar with the technical term "template". I'm familiar with it. But nevertheless, you have identified yourself as one of the fictional majority who, like you, have not heard of "templates".
6. You yourself openly admit to your low technical literacy, and yet you allow yourself to accuse me of being a "troll." You didn't ask "what are templates?" . You immediately called on society to ignore me on the basis of the "Troll" rule.
7. Now they are calling for mutual respect on my "User Talk page". Would you like me to redirect this appeal to your page?
7. When will you apologize to me?Seregadu (talk)02:58, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nazis are bad, I agree. But telling them they are not accepted is the opposite of the Wikimedia's Foundation stated goals. Especially, with your type of position. Nazis that do not push an ideology or are disruptive should be accepted. They are still human.[citation needed]86.49.236.22 (talk)21:37, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I made that point to the old titan in 2012 or 2013, when I was very new. He didn't listen, obviously, which is a shame. I guess even as a busybody teenager I had a decent sense of when an admin was doing something not-okay... even if it took a while for ArbCom to come around to see it the same way. Overall I'm a lot happier with how things work now. --Tamzin[cetacean needed](they|xe|🤷)20:43, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, didn't want to belabor a tangent on ANI, andyou're right about the British context which is the most relevant to the article in question, but I'd say that while most of Europe and the former USSR does not see abortion as a hot-button political issue, that's less true about the rest of the world. Themarea verde was a pretty prominent phenomenon across much of Latin America; meanwhile, our article onAbortion law suggests that abortion access is rather restricted across most of Latin America, Africa and Asia.signed,Rosguilltalk18:24, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
